For the BRep file format we can basically support file path with non-ASCII characters because there is an overloaded version using C++ iostreams. However, this only works if OCC/OCE and FreeCAD are built with exactly the same compiler version otherwise the application crashes.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for STEP or IGES because the API only accepts C-strings as argument.

the fix to http://tracker.dev.opencascade.org/view.php?id=22484 fill break backwards compatibility. Therefore it needs to be taken into consideration when adapting to a newer OCCT version.
